The Helpful Bureau is a registered charity and not for profit organisation. We help people to remain living safely and independently in their own homes. We work mainly with older people and those who are disabled.
We do this by providing 4 streams of work, practical services, volunteer transport scheme, befriending and social interaction events.
•	Our practical services include home support and a handyperson service. 
•	Our volunteer transport scheme to take people shopping, to medical appointments, and to other support groups or social clubs. We also have a wheelchair accessible vehicle.
•	Our befriending scheme has volunteers visiting older people in the community, to bring just a little bit of happiness to someone who potentially doesn’t see or have contact with anyone else.
•	We run a weekly resource centre providing a movement to music class, information and advice, a two-course hot lunch, and social activities. Social groups such as craft club, Grumpy Old Men club, Golden Girls, and games meet at our offices. Weekly day trips using our own 16-seater minibus.
There is also the opportunity to book foot care, held in our offices. We also signpost clients to other services available in our local area where they can get help with things that we are unable to specialise in. We have a vulnerable adults policy, and all staff and volunteers working 1-2-1 with clients have to have a DBS check.
